It doesn’t affect existing landlords directly, but overall, landlords are offloading properties due to larger mortgage costs and declining property values and not being replaced.
More concerning is the impact on tenants who get fewer options, and higher prices.
It also won’t do the perception of landlords any good, as there will be landlords who buy shitholes, and rent them out for premium prices, while spending as little on them as possible.

If you already own a BTL, the stamp duty change doesn't affect you if you just want to carry on renting it out?
